I want to crack jokes about this (just to be a jerk) but I think this might be something Apple could be really good at. Maybe this is what Apple has been working on the whole time that people thought the company was developing an electric car.

Apple Inc is investigating how to charge electric cars, talking to charging station companies and hiring engineers with expertise in the area, according to people familiar with the matter and a review of LinkedIn profiles. The moves show Apple responding to a key shortcoming of electric vehicles: "filling up" the batteries. A shortage of public charging stations, and the hours wasted in charging a car, could be an opportunity for Apple, whose simple designs have transformed consumer electronics.
 
Oooooh!!!! Designer electricity!!!! I'll pay for that!!

Heheheh...

(disclaimer, I do own and enjoy a few Apple products...)

Can't help but make a little fun of this though. :p
 
Can you imagine how long it would take to untangle 200 USB-C cables?
 
I'd really hate the requirement to install iTunes on my car just so I could use their charging station :p
 
Your car blows up using one of these... "You're charging it wrong."
 
That dongle doesn't work with iCar 2, you'll either need to go to the poor people station or buy a new iCar.
 
Apple actually have the huge financial resources needed to do this. Very interesting...
